I don't paint all Canadians with the same brush. I've been pretty dialed into Canada. I still hold Albertans and Interior BC folks in high esteem. Nonetheless, while there are many good folks in Canada, the official 'America is the root of all evil' attitude coming out of Canada (courtesy of the CBC, Globe and Mail, and the Liberal gov't) has really poisoned the atmosphere. I truly hope the conservatives have finally grown up to the point where they can at least 'agree to disagree' and be competetive in elections. But their recent track record of self destruction is dismaying - and they're all that can stop Canada's march into the Euro-abyss. But just when I think Canada is lost, I read something by Mark Steyn and it reminds me that not ALL Canadians have gone off the deep end - but the bubble is quickly burst when I realize that even he is operating offshore these days - kinda like 'in exile'. *sigh*.

It would be naive to assume that Central Canada and their liberal lapdog media will change their spots overnight but at least the pendulum is starting to swing back in the right direction. Alberta is leading the way and our influence is starting to be felt economically and politically across the country. Canada ia an extremely difficult country to manage with the population spread in a thin line along a three thousand mile border interupted by a clannish group of disaffected Francophones who will always take the opposite side of any populist issue. Many of us are looking to America to replace the Britain as the "mother Country" and this is the root cause of liberal anti-American sentiment among the faint of heart.
